I predict that about 20 of people will take advantage of that. If that is true, then that would automatically stabilize the system which now gives us time to begin to gradually increase the age of retirement. Remembering, when we put that system into place, the average age of death with 63. Now, we are looking at 80. We have not made any adjustments. It is unfair to make adjustments, i believe, to people who are 55 years or older because they dont have enough time to do it needs to be done. Or people who are younger than that, i think there is time. It is a gradual adjustment. Many of the people i have talked to have said we dont have to do anything radical like they did in italy. The move to their age up tremendously and cut the benefits by 40 in order to get back in line. The longer we wait, the more drastic the need will be to do it. We do it very gradually over the course of about 25 or 30 years and we can sustain the system. Not only that, but remember, once we have intelligent people dealing with Economic Issues there is going to be money. Keep in mind that our economy grew at an average rate of 3. 3 from 1850 until 2000. From 2001 to 2014, a group at a rate of one point 8 . The last quarter was actually negative. The things we have in place are not conducive to growth. If you make a friendly environment for business again america will take off again because we are full of people who are creative and to our hardworking and who will make the opportunities. When that happens, the doors will open up for many other people that romney characterized as the 47 . I can tell you, a lot of those people are hardworking people who believe in america. All they want is an opportunity. Welcome to new hampshire. My question is, we had to deal with an unfortunate incident in San Francisco over the last couple of days where a young lady was shot by an illegal who was deported over five times. My question is twopronged. Number one, what would be the president carson plan in terms of dealing with immigration. The second part is, how will you deal with these cities who are becoming sanctuaries to these violating federal law. Dr. Carson no thank you very cities. Thats easy. No sanctuary cities. Thats easy. I spoke at the National Association for latino elected and appointed officials a few weeks ago in las vegas. I was the only candidate who went there. I told them, i am going to tell you the same thing i tell everybody else. Of course, they wanted me to say , we are going to make everybody here citizens and everything is going to be great. That im not going to say that. Do we have an illegal immigration problem . Absolutely. All of this stuff about trump what we really should be talking about is how do we solve the illegal immigration problem, not the words that donald trump used which were perhaps, a little inflammatory. I learned that several months ago two tone my rhetoric down so that people could actually hear what im saying. There were some people who focus on the words and can hear what youre saying. Thats why you havent heard me doing that much lately because i want people to hear what i am saying. In order to fix the illegal immigration problem, you have to seal the borders. All of them. North, south, east, west oceanic borders. Which is doable with electronic devices, drones, a whole host of things. We are not just talking about fences and walls. That is old school. Part two is that you have to turn off this did that dispenses the goodies. If there is nothing for them to come here for, i think that will stop the flow. What are you going to do with the existing ones . I would provide an opportunity for them to become guest workers. They have to get registered, they have to enroll in a back tax program, they have to pay their taxes going forward. Now, they dont have to live in the shadows and we dont decimate the farming industry. That is very important. Now, the other part of this is, we send out billions of dollars a year in foreign aid. Sometimes to countries that dont like us very much. To buy their friendship. Guess what . We dont have billions of dollars to send out to anybody anymore. We have these in honest debts. We cant keep lending money. However, a great example, he look at the country of cameroon in africa right now. Some American Companies have gone over there to help develop their millions of acres of incredibly fertile land. They are coming back with booming crops and making great profits off of them. At the same time, they are improving the economy in cameroon improving the infrastructure, making jobs, teaching those people ag techniques. Its fantastic. Thats exactly what we should be doing in honduras, el salvador, mexico, letting our companies facilitating them going over there, not giving taxpayer money, and let our companies through their ingenuity make money over there and help develop those infrastructures so that those people dont feel the need to come here. That would be more consistent with the character of america. The new england console just released a report saying that the Business Community cant find a skilled workers that it needs and the Administration Just came out and said we should have Free Community college with a 65 billion dollar investment. Im wondering your thoughts about access to Higher Education. Dr. Carson first of all, poor people in our country can already go to Community College on grants. It already exists and has existed for a long time. People who are not poor can also go to Community College. Its a four letter word, what they need to do is call we do not have to be giving them something. They can work for it. I am not so sure poor people cannot work for it. Not to say i do not think education is important. Education is vital. It can not to be the same thing for everybody. We have to have a variety of mechanisms for people to get education. We also have to recognize there is a real problem with our colleges and universities right now. As the lacing escalating tuition going crazy. Kids are coming out with the debts that are crazy. The universities no you accepted the kid and they can get a government loan. Those loan rates are not 3 or 2 , they are 4 , 5 , 6 8 and accumulates rapidly. What i would suggest is we make the colleges and universities responsive for the interest 80 was a huge change in a hurry and they would constrain their expenses and find other ways for kids to get the money in terms of jobs. And they would make more grants available. But because we cannot continue to have that kind of escalation, untenable. And also we need to reintroduce into high schools the kind of Vocational Training that will give us the plumbers, the electricians who in many cases make more money than people who go to college. And give people other options. Make all of the options available. We need to take advantage of technology. We have fallen behind significantly particularly in stem areas. And we have computer programs that can look at the way that solve out of her problems and based on how they solve, it knows what they know and can tutor them. The same a good out of her teacher can do but a teacher can only do a one student at a time. The computer can do it for a whole school, a whole city. And the available virtual classrooms to put the best teachers in front of a Million Students at a time. Those are but kinds of things that make a difference. The department of education which is way overbloated, 4400 employees with average compensation of 130 5,000 can be toned down. We can make them responsible for monitoring particularly our institutions of Higher Education for extreme political bias. If it exists, lets cut out federal funding. I think you would see in exodus from those universities of the radicals who do not believe in america. I would monitor on both sides, right and left. Universities should be place where people can go and discuss everything and learn about everything. That is how we develop the kind of leaders we need in this country, not ideologues. I see one back there. Hi. [indiscernible] how would your Administration Deal with the relationship between Environmental Security and Economic Security . Dr. Carson excellent question. Environmental, economic, energy security. This country has been blessed with an enormous Energy Resources area i think it is unbelievable what we possess. But, we are not able to use it as we should on the geopolitical scale because these archaic energy rules put in place in the 1970s when we had an energy crisis. They are still in place. All of our reservoirs are full. No place to go with it. And i believe the Environmental Protection agency should not to be abolished. But its mission should be changed to work with the business, industry, and academia to find the cleanest most environmentally friendly way to develop our enormous Energy Resources. We have so much in natural gas it would last us for 1000 years. We have the ability to liquefy gas to get rid of those energy bands. We can export it. We can make europe dependent on us for energy and limit the influence of Vladimir Putin who has great expansionist ideas. That is what we should be thinking about how should we use it . We can use the revenues from the energy to work on Renewable Clean Energy sources. You know, we have a tendency to allow everything to be a battle. Fossil fuels versus green energy. Lets fight each other to the death. It it does not have to be a death. We can use want to expand at the other because we will need new Energy Sources for lets do it in an intelligent way that does not damage us economically that may drive down our national debt. And at the same time help us on the whole geopolitical scale doing things in a proactive way rather than always reacting. All right, thank you. [applause] dr.

Please join me in welcoming lisa. [applause] thank you. Thank you all for joining us today for our program, a view from the front lines of islamist insurgency. Two weeks ago today terrorist massacred 38 tourists edited resort in tunisia, attack a factory in france, and conducted a Suicide Attack at a mosque. While these events may not have the directly connected to they are indicative of the pervasiveness of the terrorist threat we face today. The most immediate threat stems from the rise of Islamic State in iraq and syria, and muslims from around the world are flocking to syria to fight with the Islamic State. The state Department Terrorism reports that there were 16,000 foreign fighters from over 90 countries that had joined the fight in syria. Exceeding the rate of foreign fighters that had gone to afghanistan, pakistan, iraq, yemen, and somalia in the last two years. And although the u. S. Has degraded core al qaeda leadership in tribal areas we still face an al qaeda threat. We face more of a threat from al qaeda affiliates throughout the east and africa. Here i would like to note a heritage publication from four years ago. This drew attention to this evolution in this report came out of the time the white house was trying to down way the global terror threat. Diver and resources from that fight. In the report week the administration to be proactive and develop a strategy. What is the impact on u. S. Policy given that these groups share the same deadly antiwest policy . They are competing for influence and resources. Is it possible that they might merge in the future, or wont one overtake the other . We have a very distinguished panel of experts with us today.

Ms. Zimmerman has testified before congress about the threats emanating from al qaeda and shes briefed members of congress, their staff and members of the defense community. So with that im going to turn the floor over to our first speaker, dr. Gorka. [applause] dr. Gorka good morning, ladies and gentlemen, or good afternoon. Its a real pleasure to be back here at heritage, an institution thats always a real pleasure to speak at. Today, for truth in lending, im not going to address the topic. Because im not coming back from the front lines. This was advertised as an assessment from the front lines. Im going to tell you what the people who have been to the front lines have told me. I work very closely, as you heard, with our green berets members of the Intelligence Community and our marines. And im going to report to you a very abbreviated summary of special especially of the work that weve been doing for fsoc. In the last two years weve supported commanding general Charles Cleveland whose just retired as the commander of the green berets, and weve compiled two reports on the use of irregular warfare by groups like isis, but also a nation state actor such as iran and russia. And also a very in depth study on the central gravity of isis. Im going to talk to you very briefly about those reports and also the doctrine, the strategy that isis is following on the ground today. So what is the current threat environment . The current threat environment is a very, very ugly one. Whether you are a christian girl in nigeria, kidnapped against your will because of what you believe, whether you are yazidis hounded up a mountain topped by isis or someone somewhere in syria and iraq who got on the wrong side of isis and had to be crucified or whether youre one of these poor wretches who was decapitated recently or the unfortunate lieutenant of the royal air force. This is your reality. And it isnt just, of course, a reality thousands of miles away with all the current cases that the f. B. I. Director has admitted we are investigating in america. This is very much a threat to the
